See inside Sandra Lee and Andrew Cuomo house listed for $2 million
NEW CASTLE, N.Y. – TV personality Sandra Lee rose to stardom with her semi-homemade cooking, but her talent is not limited to her kitchen.
She's got taste in home decor, and it shows in her property's listing photos made available by Houlihan Lawrence.
Lee's four-bedroom Colonial that she had shared with her longtime partner, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has been listed for $2 million since May 24. The price is $300,000 less than previously reported.
"They did good," said Matthew Gluck, founder of NestEdge Realty in Chappaqua, of the pricing. "I didn't want them to go higher than that. It's right around $2 million. I think they'll have good traffic."
Gluck's sentiment stems from the recent slowdown in the sales of homes priced above $2 million: The luxury home market has suffered a 43% sales decline in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the same period last year, according to Houlihan Lawrence's luxury market report,
Harriet Libov, associate real estate broker with Houlihan Lawrence's Armonk office, has the listing. Libov did not return phone and email messages seeking comment.
Over the years, the house at 4 Bittersweet Lane in New Castle, named Lily Pond, has been featured in various publications as a backdrop for Lee's home decoration ideas.
Most recently, the house was featured in People magazine.
“Every single thing in this house I’ve personally purchased," Lee told the magazine, noting that it took a decade for her to put everything together.
In addition to the kitchen as well as the living and dining rooms featured in the magazine, the listing photos include the home's bedrooms, a large walk-in closet, gym, and family room with brick fireplace.
In 2008, Lee, author of the best-selling cookbook "Semi-Homemade Cooking," purchased the house for $1.22 million, according to property records. Lee is the sole owner, though Cuomo has long said he shares all household expenses.
